Expert Reply:
Oil bath seals to tend to be a little more pricey because they have to keep a liquid in whereas grease seals don't have to be "liquid proof".
For grease seals that replace your current oil bath seals with a 2.25" ID and 3.37" OD we have part # GS-2250DL (2.250" ID and 3.376" OD) for one seal or part # RG06-070 for 2 of these seals.
Be sure that when changing from oil bath to grease that you clean off all of the oil from your assembly. You have to do this when switching from grease to oil as well because having grease and oil in your assembly will actually do harm to the components. It is also key to use the same type of grease as some grease types are not compatible with each other.
